Motorola

A global telecommunications and public safety communications company founded on September 25, 1928 as Galvin Manufacturing Corporation by brothers Paul V. and Joseph Galvin in Chicago, Illinois. The Motorola brand name was created in 1930 for car radios, linking "motor" (for motorcar) with "ola" (implying sound), meaning "sound in motion." The company became Motorola, Inc. in 1947. Motorola pioneered mobile communications with car radios (1930s), handheld walkie-talkies (1940), lunar communication equipment (1969), and the first commercial handheld cellular phone (1983). Today, Motorola Solutions specializes in mission-critical communications, two-way radios, and public safety technology with 90+ years of innovation. Learn more at https://www.motorolasolutions.com
